Bob Barker

Famous retired American TV game show host, Robert William Baker, or more famously known as Bob Barker, was born on December 12, 1923, in Darrington, Washington. He is a well-loved host and is most known for hosting The Price is Right for the span 35 years. It has become the longest-running daytime game show in North American TV history. Snoop Dogg was a big fan of The Price is Right. He can remember watching episodes with his grandmother and he said, “As a kid watching, you know, coming home from school, I didn’t want to go to school, I’d watch The Price is Right.”

Barker has also hosted the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants on numerous occasions. Barker started his first media job during his college days, and in 1950 the game show host started to pursue a career in broadcasting and was given his own radio show, The Bob Barker Show, which ran for the next six years out of Burbank. The handsome host has since retired after suffering multiple health issues from accidents that were probably covered by his insurance over the years.
